Common sizes are small dessert plates around 7 inches, standard dinner plates about 8.5–8.75 inches, and 9-inch dinner plates.
Most plates are made from paper. Multi-piece holiday sets often pair thicker paper plates with food-grade plastic cups and cutlery.
Listings commonly mention embossed rims for improved grip and leak resistance, and thicker paper construction to resist tearing or leaking during typical party use.
The cups in the 200-piece set are 9 ounces and are described as suitable for both hot and cold drinks.
Simple holiday plates are offered in solid seasonal colors like red and green, and in white with a gold finish or gold border accents.
